Mark Hemingway: Did Obama Set a Booby-Trap for Trump?

When Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from any investigations regarding a connection between the Trump campaign and the Russians, it came to light that Barack Obama had changed the order of succession. He did so one week before his departure from office. Senior writer Mark Hemingway of The Weekly Standard says that it appears that Obama tried to set a booby-trap for Trump, putting in place a political loyalist who would call for an independent prosecutor. Mark also talks about the leaks of confidential information about the Trump administration, and the accusations of wiretapping. Originally aired on Cam & Co 03/06/17.
